RAW this week featured a random backstage segment involving Alexa Bliss. A WWE employee walked in on Bliss while she was changing.
The segment has gone viral, with over 2.5 million views on Youtube (as of writing this).
So why did this segment happen?
The rumor is that WWE is attempting to get a bit edgier in their content moving forward. The Bliss segment and the Mandy Rose storyline with Jimmy Uso are examples. Here is a quote from Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t to Ringside News for the quote):
“So the idea is they want to bring back this idea of God only knows what. It’s like old time, old time stuff. It’s like whatever, that stuff’s on regular TV shows all the time too. It was an attempt to do something that was very awkward in execution, but it was an attempt to make things sexy. That’s all that was.”
Are you down for some edgier content? Or did WWE cross the line? Let us know in the comment section below.
